scene occurred yesterday at the hospital
when Frank 2. Petrie, of San Francisco, a
brother of the vitriol- -thrower's victim, ar
rived. The latter could only recognize his
young brother by his voice, for his eyes are
closed and he cannot see thing When
Frank fell on his knees by the bedside and
grasped his brothers hands, he said tear
fully, 'Oh, Charley what would mother
say? Could she see you now it would
break her heart"
Sister Mary, who has been by the pa
TENTS side since he was taken to the hospi-
tai, took Frank out of the room and made
him understand that he must not talk to
his brother, for the least excitement might
prove fatal at this particular time.

the woman who did the deed, has been
acting strangely since his arrest, and that

among the officers at the Jail is that he con-
templated suicide, and he is closely
